MATLAB Compiler

Compiling the M-File into a MEX-File

To create a MEX-file from this M-file, enter the mcc command at the MATLAB interpreter prompt.

• mcc -x gasket
  

This mcc command generates

• A file named gasket.c containing MEX-file C source code.
• A file named gasket.h containing the public information.
• A file named gasket_mex.c containing the MEX-function interface (MEX wrapper).
• A MEX-file named gasket.mex. (The actual filename extension of the executable MEX-file varies depending on your platform, e.g., on the PC the file is named gasket.dll.)

mcc automatically invokes mex to create gasket.mex from gasket.c and gasket_mex.c. The mex utility encapsulates the appropriate C compiler and linker options for your system.

This example uses the -x macro option to create the MEX-file. For more information on this Compiler option, see the mcc reference page. For more information on the files that the Compiler generates, see Controlling Code Generation.
